Bear Valley is conveniently located in the center of an extensive mountain bike single-track trail system, world-class road cycling, and numerous forest service roads for gravel and mountain bike riders. Due to our elevation at 7100 feet, summer and fall are the cycling seasons. Each summer, BVAC stocks the store with bicycle gear and clothing and opens a bike shop for repairs and servicing our rental fleet. Feel free to stop by and inquire about any riding recommendations. Reba’s Toll House Cafe is also next door and the “go-to” spot for good food. Happy trails!
